It is to be regretted that a match presenting as much variety as that of yesterday should have been deferred to so late a period of the season. Cutter matches are at no time so fre ciuent, save for small prizes given by publicans on the banks of the Thames. The match of yesterday between the picked crew now in the New Diana, and the company in the black boat, a beautiful gig belonging to Mr. Macintosh, was well arranged, and fairly and honourably contested, ffording a very high treat to the admirers of this beautiful sport. It was for 25/. a-side, and, considering the time of the year, rather late,is it must be admitted, for a nautical display, it was very lltttcnded. The distance was from Westminster-bridge to Putney, against tide ; a distance quite sufficient to try the sta mina of any men on the river. At:a quarter past three the New Diana crew, who had won the toss for stations, took No. 1 on the north shore; their adversaries being in the next arch. At twenty-five minutes past three the irtiketed in a dead calm. Both fours went off briskly,' btitAlul Alarm, Stranger, or Gig, whichever they may term it, felt the force of the tide. The new boat went in shore, and was half a length a-head on clear ing Lucas's roads. The others laid down to it admirably ; but they were less men, a circumstance apparent to the most casual beholder. The New Diana sheered off the gas-works, and the eosevrain of the Gig steered right on their starboard quarter. In went the pride of the Thames (that is, in build ing), and away went the Gig a-head. They both made the shoot together, and at the same place, and in crossing the tide the New Diana certainly gained materially. Off Brown's wharf the Gig was struck on the starboard quarter, and the New Diana went a-head, and maintained it the whole way. The New Diana is a sweet boat, and, in a calm, is wonderfully f a g:, The folhawing are the names of the crews:— N o w ,Diana (Stripe)„.,Millbank.—F. Mann, J, J.

A TREATISE on the ACT for MARRIAGES in ENGLAND, and the ACT for REGISTERING BIRTHS, DEATHS and MARRIAGES, Passed in the late Session, with Practical Directions, 6-c. ; and an Appendix containing the Acts. BY SYDNEY ASPLAND, ESQ., OF THE KIDDIE TEMPLE. Longman, London, 1836. This little treatise ought to be in the hands of every one. The Acts which it explains, particularly the Mat riage Act, are of deep and universal interest, and no more useful or acceptable service could have been perfortncd to the public, than that which has been ren dered by Mr. A spland in the work before us. The learned author conceiving that what concerns all ought to be fa miliar to all, has wisely divested his language of that technicality which lawyers are so fond of using-, and by adopting a simple and, popular style, has made the various provisions of the Acts in question so plain that he who runs may read. Our limits will admit only of a short extract. We select the following passage on the duty and rights of Dissenting ministers under the Marriage Act DUTY AND RIGHTS OF DISSENTING MINISTERS. " ON MARRIAGES.—As a registrar must he present at every marriage solemnized in a registered place of worship, the Dissenting Minister is relieved of nearly all responsi bility. He is required to sign in the marriage register book the entry of every marriage solemnized by or before him, c. 85, s. 23, and should satisfy himself that the place of worship in which the marriage is solemnised is the regis tered building specified in the notice and certificate ; that the person attending at the marriage as a registrar of mar riages of the district, including the registered building, is in fact such (which may be ascertained, if there be doubt, by inquiry at the superintendent's office); that the mar riage is had within three calendar months after the entry of the notice of marriage, the time of which will appear on the superintendent's certificate, or on the licence if the marriage be so solemnized, c. 85, s. 39. The certificate will not be issued, nor license granted by the superintendent till the expiration of the seven days or twenty-one days after entry of the notice ; the marriage may therefore be had imme diately, on production of the certificate or license. It is not necessary that the minister should be present at a marriage solemnized in a registered place of worship (c. 85, s. 20, 23) ; if he be present, he may, in addition to the forms re quired by s. 20, use any form and ceremony he pleases. Possibly the various religious bodies may each agree on some form of marriage service, to be adopted at discretion. But the forms given in s. '2O should be introduced in an early part of the service, so that the registrar present may meet with no unnecessary delay in the completion o his duties. No person can attend to forbid the marriage at the time of its celebration, as that must be done by en try in the marriage notice book, kept by the superinten dent, or by entering a caveat with the superintendent, as directed by e. 85, as. 9 and 13. But, slight as is the Dis senting minister's official responsibility under these Acts, it is obvious that the frequency with which his advice will be asked by members of his congregation, renders it of great importance that he should acquaint himself minutely with the proceedings necessary before marriage. He will, perhaps, think it advisable to provide himself with printed forms of the notice of marriage given by c. 85, schedule (A.)" There is a copious index at the end, which greatly facilitates reference to any point upon which informa tion may be required. DUBLIN-FRIDAY. " Qu;,l tam difficile quam in plurimorum controversiis diju dicandi ab omnibus It has been frequently said and written, that the pure and impartial administration of justice is the firmest bond to secure the willing submission of the people, and to engage their affections to Government. This is peculiarly the case in Ireland, whose inhabitants, notwithstanding many ha- i bitual and some natural foibles, are proverbially and unde niably a " justice-loving people." Everything, therefore, in the remotest degree connected with the execution of the laws, is here a subject of deep interest amongst all classes : and accordingly the filling up of the vacancy in the Court of Exchequer is looked forward to with intense anxiety. Immediately on the announcement of Sir William Smith's death, it was generally believed in Dublin, and throughout the country, that the Attorney-General (O'Loghlen) would be his successor. It was thought that the honour of being the first Catholic Judge in regenerated Ireland, not less than the "negotiton sine periculo," would have induced him to accept the office. Mr. O'Loghlen, however, is too well aware of the position which he holds in the estimation of all good and discerning minds, to surrender his claims to the first rank of judicial appointments. It is not usual for an Attorney-General, placed at the head of his profession by personal merit and universal approbation, and who has also distinguished himself in the Senate even beyond the expectation of his friends, to retire from the active duties of public and political life. without, more distinction than belongs to the situation of a puisne Baron of the Exche quer. Hence those who wish that the first Catholic Judge should be one, for whose propriety of conduct and firmness of purpose on the Bench his professional and public fife Jile is the very best guarantee, are glad to find Mr. 6,'Le , ' Siitl , unwilling to compromise his own, or the ,4'.es:;:•,: -, :' . 1; , :.. - o sition at this moment. And, though liiS'4 . : -. 4 is . t ie office may—under present circumstances—e4arrass Lord Mul grave's Government a little, it is to be hoped that - he will persevere in. his resiolution. But here begins the difficulty, as regards the filling up of the vacancy on the bench. The next claimant, as well by merits as by virtue of his office, is the Solicitor-General (Mr. Richards). He, it is said, finding that the Attorney-General will not vacate the situation of the first law-officer of the Crown, is willing to accept the place of puisne Judge ; but if he be made a Judge, hia,euccesser must be a Liberal lawye r of character—Sergeant.Woulfe, Mr. Homes, Mr. Ball, 01- .1 Mr. Pigott ; there is no other Reform Member of the Irish bar sufficiently qualified for the office. Sergeant Woulfe stands first on this list, and Government is inclined to ap point him Judge or Solicitor-General, provided they can do so without offending Mr; Richards, or public prejudice. If they make Sergeant Woulfe, who is a Catholic Judge, without Mr. Richards' approbation, they will be acting unjustly towards this gentleman, who is a most Liberal Pro testant, and at the top of his profession in the Court of Chan cery, where he practises. And if Mr. Richards insist on his right to the vacant seat on the Bench, Government will be obliged to appoint Mr. Woulfe to the Solicitor-General ship, who, being a Catholic as well as O'Loghleti, the At torney-General may alarm all the old ladies of both coun tries who fear for the stability of the Protestant interest. Mr. Homes, a Protestant, will not accept of any place ; and the other two gentlemen mentioned above aro Catho lics. Government, therefore, are in a dilemma, unless Mr. Richards consent to remain as he is till the next va vancy in the Attorney-Generalship, or on the Bench. It is rumoured that he is ready to meet the wishes of Govern , ment and the country, and to abide by an agreement to that effect, on his accepting of his present office. For this his country, as well as the ; Government, owe him a debt of gratitude ; more particularly if, it shall appearrthat lie is the only person who waives (*sacrifices a right on this oc casion. Is it not, in the meantime, affording a proef of the power of prejudice over the Government, to shrink from the most straightforward course in this arrangement, merely because that course would appoint two Catholics c'.iief law officers of the Crown ? We have in Ireland some few learned and excellent men as judges—men who, as between man and man, where po litics do not come in question, can exercise an unbiassed judgment, and "jus dicere," explain the law as they find it ; but if politics intervene, they are warped and blinded by those prepossessions-1 shall not call them principles— to which, for, the most part, they owe their advancement, and are ready " jus dare," to intrepret the laws by the rule of inclination, rather than of reason or sound judg ment. There are palpable examples, of this in some de- citions, and " dicta" arising out of the Irish Refoim Act. That Act declares that every man having " a clear bent.- fi'cial interest of the yearly value of not less than 101. over and above all rent and charges, shall be entitled to the franchise : and that if his claim to register a vote be refused by the Revising Barrister on account of v a /u s , he may appeal to a judge of Assize, who is required to inquire by the ver dict of a jury, whether . " such prop er ty b e o f t h e annua l value, within the mean i ng of this (Reform) Oct, at which the claimant seeks to register such vote," But there are in this country judges and barristers w h o h o ld t h at t h e proper mode of ascertaining the value, is not according to the beneficial interest which the owner may have in, but according to the additional rent which a stranger would pay for the tenement sought to be registered. A n d th e : qu ibbl e b y which they attempt to sustain this view of the law is, a form of oath to be found in an old Act o SuggestsP arl to suchiamentfor the jurors on appeal to take, and which jurors trying undo'.' that act ,'.li§ view of the matter, thereby rejecting altogether the benefit and meaning of thes : P wPrli ...,.. t .i.t of the Reform Actabove f i qqt9(l, A . e,ahl the 3,6,q Seetion 4 r the said Act authorises any chairman to adjourn his session, " in case any exigency shall render it necessary," " oa in case he shall be sa directed by the I l eselsi i ientenant," Yet the chqlrman of the county of Dublin expresses his douht whether the (I:rectiori of the Lord Lieutenant i s an a uthority to him for adjourning the Session. It is unnecessary to *say, that it ie the CoNserva live party only that are allowed the L . np.c.fit of a d o ubt on , the obvi ous m e an i ng o f these sections itt the Reform Act. These are among the many reasons which make the people of Ireland; feel such an interest as to the character and political principles of those individuals who are pro moted to judicial appointments. It is but justice to the present Government to say, that if their selections in this respect have not been in every instance the very best that could be made, they were at all events persons capable of understanding that " lex est dictamen rationis," and that however defective some of our laws may be, they ar9 not so inconsistent with common sense as some Tory func tionaries would render them. DUBLIN-SUNDAY. " It will have blood, they say, blood will have b100d."... MACBRTIL More homicides have been committed by the Church Militant, by law (?) established in Ireland! Intelligence readied town yesterday of a tithe slaughter at Dunkerrin, is the King's County, on Friday evening last, occasioned by the active exertions of that notorious " Rebellion Ruffian, or Commissioner" Ryan, in the discharge of his duty. It appears that a poor man, the father of several children, was shot dead by this Commissioner or his associates ; one of whose party was subsequently so ill-treated by the irritated populace, as to be in danger of losing his life also ; and but for the interposition of the Catholic Clergyman of the neighbourhood, the Rev. Mr. Nolan, not one of Ryan's party would have escaped the vengeance of the incensed multitude. It would not, however, be right to publish fur ther details of this melancholy affair, in the absence of a more official statement than has yet been made on the sub ',Oct. May God grant that the people do not set up the Mosaic law in that vicinity, seeking " an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth ;" but await the less sanguinary decrees of the tribunals of their country. It will require all the influence of a popular and paternal Government, of the " General Association," and of the Catholic Clergy of Ireland, to prevent the effusion of much blood during the approaching winter. The Clergy of the Established Church, instead of deprecating the horrors that must accompany their endeavours to obtain tithe money from the Tory-im poverished people of Ireland, and supplicating the House of Lords to put an end to such warfare, by the establish ment of some less blood-stained reward of their labours in this land, seem determined to co-operate with their friends, on the other side, who cry the Church is in danger, while it is actually endangering the peace of the entire community. This is now the only rallying point of that wretched party, whom no sense of justice can mitigate, or experience guide, in struggling to regain their monopoly. The Church is in danger, say they, and Popery will be re-established if O'Connell and his co-religionists be admitted to all the pri vileges of the British Constitution. Surely the history of England for the two last centuries ought to admonish them of the peril and danger of such alarms. In the reign of Charles the Second, the cry of a Popish plot first caused much innocent blood to flow, and then overturned the rights of the subject. In the reign of Queen Anne, the splendid victories of Marlborough were neutralised, the power of France was restored, and the foundation of the National Debt was increased, if not established, by the fanatic cry of the Church in danger. And at a more recent period, the faith of the good folk of London had to be purified from the apprehended pollution of Catholicism, by the con flagration of their city. Such were the unhappy results of the clamour from time to time raised against the extension of legal rights to every class of persons under protection of the Crown of England : and such will always be the result of efforts made by little, selfish, sordid politicians, who think of confounding the public with their private interests, " Religious alarms," says Grattan, " are not the efforts of great or comprehensive minds ; they originate in low cun ning, and operate on ignorant irritability ; they are not founded on religion ; they are generally expedients of the depraved ; they are hatched with the hope of delusion, and are the worst political vices baptized ; there is nothing in telligible, nor coherent, nor profound, nor high, nor com prehensive in their reasoning." We are too far advanced in Reform, now, for the Tories to further their cause by these stale expedients : they should rather seek to protect the Church, than cherish and promote the incentives of its abuses. In a recent communication to The Sun, I stated, in giving an account of the " Rebellion ruffians" in the county of Wexford, and their deliberate persecution of Mr. Downes, of Broomlands, that that gentleman's friends had, in order to avert such persecution of his old helpless pa rents, offered security for the payment of such debt for tithe at some future day, as the Legislature should leave unsettled. My informant in this matter has since told me that I misunderstood him as to friends—that no person with the knowledge or permission of Mr. Downes, or of any member of his family or name in the county, ever made any offer of compromise with the tithe claimant or his agents ; and that if such an offer were seriously made by any person, that person was not authorised to make it by Mr. Downes or his family, but did so probably with the view of trying the animus and feeling of the party. My account was in every other respect perfectly correct, and I mention this exception only, because it tends to show the spirit that is universally prevalent in this county against the payment of tithe money in any shape, under existing laws, and that all who feel any concern for the peace of Ireland may be prepared for the consequences that will in evitably follow its attempted enforcement. In this state of public feeling, therefore, there can be no hope of substan tial benefit to the tithe claimant from the proceedings which he is adopting. Ile knows that very well, and so does the Conservative combination, that are urging such proceedings, and endeavouring to bring the laws and courts of justice of Ireland, hitherto regarded by the people as sacred, into contempt ; but their object is " death and destruction" to the people and their Government, that they may rebuild their ascendancy on the public ruin. But they will be disappointed—the present Government comprehend all their manoeuvring, and will guard against it. IRELAND. DUBLIN, OCT. 22. GENERAL ASSOCIATION.

TITRE CAMPAIGN.-FATAL COLLISION BETWEEN THE COMMISSIONERS OF REBELLION AND THE PEOPLE. Blood has at length been shed in the open d a y. Th e first victims fell in Tipperary. Six children were made fatherless, and one of the officers of rebellion" left for dead. Philip Ryan, however, the _great hero of the . - Church, the Achilles of the Establishment, their decus et tutamen, after firing his shot, and inducing the policemen to fire, galloped off on the perpetration of the homicides. The affair occurred in the parish of Dunkerrin, in the diocese of Killaloe. This parish is situate partly in the King's county and partly in Tipperary ; and it is to be observed that this portion of the King's county (the greater part of 1 the parish, perhaps three-fourths, lying there). is about as much Protestant as a parish in Tyrone or Armagh. In truth, there are in this parish, or were, in 1834, according to the census taken by the. Commissioners of Public Instruc tion, 388 Protestants, the Catholics being 3,9B6—little more than ten to one. With this preface we shall now proceed to insert the letter of a trustworthy and most esti mable correspondent, dated yesterday, the day on which tho catastrophe occurred : " Dunkerrin, Friday evening, seven o'clock. " We have had another Rathcormac massAL're in this parish, about one o'clock to-day. Two victims, I fear, have been immolated to the demon of tithes. The scene was frightful beyond description. Amidst the horrors that sur round, I can only call your attention to a few of the lead ing facts. " Early on this morning Philip Ryan, of Nenagh, the notorious officer of rebellion, accompanied by one of his satellites, named Hogan, assisted by the party of police sta tioned in Dunkerrin, proceeded to Rathnavoge, to serve Exchequer processes. The people appeared in crowds on the hills, without making any attempt at resistance, save and except a few hearty shouts, which prevented him from effecting his object. On his return to Dun kerrin he met a large number of persons at the cross roads, at the turnpike gate. On his passing through a few stones were thrown, without any personal in jury to him or any of his party. The instant he got clean through the crowd he fired into the midst of the people. Two policemen fired instantly after. Melan choly to state, John Fogarty, a poor and honest man, having a family of six helpless children, was shot through the breast, the bullet entering within an inch of the nipple of his left breast, and passed out under his right shoulder blade. The medical gentleman who has visited him from Roscrea, states his recovery as impossible. Ryan escaped unhurt. Hogan was not so fortunate ;he was beaten so severely, but not till after Fogarty was shot, that case is nearly hopeless. Fortunately the Rev. A. Nolan, parish priest, came to the spot at this instant. tlogan left for dead on the side of the road, and the police surrounded by some hundreds of persons, armed. with stones. The ser jeant and Hogan the Rev. Mr. Nolan had to protect in his own house for sonie hours. The people were so excited, so infuriated, as to disregard their lives ; they would have killed every one of the police at his very gate, had he been one moment later. My conviction is, that no phy sical force could restrain them at the moment ; and this is the use the calumniated Catholic clergy make of their influence, notwithstanding the many aspersions that are heaped on them. I must remark, that the tithe massacre has taken place within fifty perches of the parish priest's house. His coming up at the moment was purely acci dental, being, with both his curates, engaged at a station in a remote corner of the parish during the entire of the morning. Allow me to remark that the order for the po lice to assist Ryan was given by Dean Hawkins, who fills the situations of magistrate for the King's County and Tip perary, Dean of Clonfert, Rector of Dunkerrin, and has returned to this parish only a few months ago, after a resi dence at the fashionable lounging places iu England for five or six years I " I have' been obliged to give you a hurried sketch ; so great is my hurry to have my messenger get to Roscrea in time for the night's post, that I have not time even to read over what I write. It cannot be alleged that Ryan or the police fired in their own defence, as he got through the entire of the crowd before any shot was fired ; moreover, the police were only in danger at the parish priest's gate, after Ryan's escape, a distance of 50 or 60 perches from where the slaughter took place. Ryan galloped off the instant he fired, a proof of his predetermined intention." Of the truth of the statement in the preceding letter we have not the slightest doubt. The rector of the parish, Mr, Hawkins, the dean of another diocese, Clonfert, had, it appeared, been for several years non-resident, and on his return to his parish, commenced his Christian duties by hiring Philip Ryan as his officer ; and Dean Hawkins, act ing in his civil capacity as a justice of the peace and quo rum, dispatched the police to aid and assist his ruffians. The consequences we have seen. The very rev, gentleman did not collect a penny of tithes ; but another sacrifice was offered to the Church of Ireland. One victim was murdered outright ; and there are, we learn, but slight hopes enter tained of the recovery of one of his own officers. Until the particulars reach us, it would be premature to speak of the conduct of the police. We must know whether a magistrate was present, who was the constable in command, and who gave the:orders to fire. We shall only observe here, what we have taken occasion repeatedly to urge before, that it will be vain to hope for an efficient or a popular constabu lary so long as they are thus diverted from the duties imposed upon them by Parliament, and made --as they are in effect made—the mere servants of Leslie Foster's Court, in post ing notices, in levying distresses, and in outraging the feel ings of the people, by acti n g as instruments in the hands of reckless ruffians arpointed by the Exchequer to levy the tribute. We cannot, conclude our reference to this matter without pointing io the conduct of the parish priest of Dunkerrin. Ha d he not interfered the probability is, that the police would have been immolated, every man. Yet these priests are the men who are made the subject of the foulest and grossest calumnies—to abuse whom, in England, cassocked miscreants are hired—to slander whom in Ireland, frontless apostates are employed by the chiefs of the Established Church. Verily, verily, they will have their reward.-- Dublin Evening Post. CITY OF DUBLIN ELECTION.---4N. IiESTIOATION INTO THE CONDUCT OF ALDERMAN S I :IYTH.--The Court sat at the usual hour yesterday. 'lie direct examination of Mr. Maguire, inspector of paving, &c., was concluded ; but his cross-examination was for the present deferred. Some of the collectors were briefly examined ; also Mr. J. J. Murphy, agent in the late election for the popular candidates. Col. Morris and Mr. Edward Maguire refused to be examined, as they were of opinion Dr. Stock had no authority to compel them to attend as witnesses. Both gentlemen intimated, that in the line of conduct they thought proper to pursue, they did so with the most perfect personal respect to Dr. Stock. The inquiry will be resumed this day at ten o'clock. THE FACTORY LIE.—We are enabled to state that a most unqualified contradiction has been obtained from Mr. Condy, on whose alleged authority the latest lie promul gated by O'Connell's enemies, professes to be based. The Liberator has been put personally in possession of the con tra'2iietion, which is given under Mr. Condy's own hand— he will know how and when to make use of it effectively. As to the falsehood itself, its,*surdity precluded it from being for a moment believed liiintry man of any party in this country.—Freeman. On this subject the Evening Post says :—" It having come to Mr. Patrick Costello's ears that certain liberties had been taken with his name anent the premises by Mr. Condy, he commissioned a friend to wait upon the aforesaid, having taken a trip to Manchester for the purpose, when Mr. Condy, in the handsomest man ner, declared to Mr. Costello's friend that it was all a lie, and wrote a letter to that,eifeet accordingly. Thus, then, the matter stands. Wh44atement the parties slandered will put forth we have iivige'reason to know ; what expla nations will be given and received by the other parties im plicated in the fabrication we have yet to learn." RATHCORMAC.—A correspondent informs us that the campaign is carried on in this district—the scene of the memorable tithe slaughter in 1834—with such an utter disregard of law, that in a recent instance, by order of the Rev. Joshua Brown Ryder, the tithe bailiff's and police arrested an entire family, and served law processes for tithes at midnight! The greatest alarm prevailed in the parish. THE RENT AND THE REGISTRIES.—The former is ing in from all quarters, and the state, of the latte r is triumphant. It will be remembered that, about two months ago, the mansion of his F:seelloncy the Portuguese Ambassador, situate in j 30 .- er -street, Portman-squ are , was, i n a most myster;: o „ manner , plundered of jewellery a n d cas h t o a con siderable amount. The same distinguished person's resi dence at Cricklewood, near Edgeware, was, on Saturday night last, visited by thieves, wh o entere d t h e grapery, and completely stripped the whole of thi fertile vines of their choice and beautiful fruit ; a great number of pines were also c arried off from the pi nery , an d a vast quant i ty o f shrubs and plants, indigenou s an d exo ti c , s h are d t h e same fate. Information of the robbery was communicated to the when, up on a close inspection of the grounds, it was ascertained that the property had been taken away in a cart, as the ma r k s o f t h e wheels and footsteps were traced some distance down an adjoining- lane, but on getting into the high road all trace was lost. The dwelling-house was not brok en i nto. The off i cers are actively employed in seeking for the depredators, and it is supposed that they form p art o f a d ar i ng gang of burglars who, f or some time have infested the neighbourhood. THE ARMY. i r all Vet GENERAL ORDER. Horse Guards, Oct. 12, 1836. The General Commanding-in-Chief, is pleased to ap, prove of General officers commanding districts in Great Britain granting leave of absence to officers, and furlough' to non-commissioned officers and soldiers, under the fet. lowing limitations and restrictions, viz. 1. The leaves of absence granted under NI order tit officers, may commence as soon as the half-yearly invectiot shall have been male ; the furloughs granted to non-coi, missioned officers and soldiers may commence from tbl st of the next month. 2. These indulgences are to terminate on the 10th of March next, when, in conformity to His Mai :sty's regula tions, all officers and men are to be pretter,t with their re spective regiments. 3. One field officer, one half of the captains, and one half of the subaltern officers are alwan to be present with their regiments. 4. No officer (except ir. the performance of d u ty, or for purp ose o f j o i n i ng? ilk regiment) is to quit the United Kingdom without brAving first received His Majesty's spe cial permission, - 5. The of!,cers employed on the recruiting service, or upon the staff of the army, are not to be included in the nuuter hereby fixed for the constant duty of the re giment. 6. The applications for leave of regimental paymasters, and medical officers, are to continue to be made in the mode prescribed in pages 72 and 73 of the general regula tions of the army. 7. In cases of short leaves of absence being requested by adjutants, riding-masters, quarter-masters, or veterinary surgeons of regiments, it will be necessary that a special report should be made as to the mode in which their duties are to be performed during their absence. 8. The proportion of non - commissioned officers, trumpet ers, drummers, and private men, to whom furloughs may be granted, is not to exceed I 0 per troop or company. When regiments are not stationed in garrisons or mili tary districts, the officers commanding are at liberty to use their discretion in granting the indulgence of leave of ab sence, under the foregoing restrictions, to the officers and men under their command. This orde.: does not apply to the officers and men doing duty with the depot companies of regiments on foreign service. His Lordship expects that the General and other officers, who are empowered to grant leave of absence under the provisions of this order, will strictly confine that grant to the proportion of officers herein snecified.

Could a Sterne or a Mackenzie pay a visit to these dreary Courts, a sad tale of human misery would be un folded. A whole pair of pannier full of buns (solid pud ding or two-inch bread and butter would look too osten tatious), would scarcely satisfy the cravings or appease the wants of the poor children, who, for lack of any one to take care of them at home, are dragged through the dark fog of a bitter cold morning, along with their thinly-clad mo thers, to answer for pot-house scores! Upwards of forty cases were heard yesterday, where the amount sued for was for beer and gin. As cowardice generally accom panies depravity, the poor wife is thrust forward by the husband to bear the brunt of the battle ! It is sufficient upon this dark side of the picture to say that every case was dealt with as leniently as possible. ONE OF DAN'S FOLLOWERS IN TROUBLE.—" The course of true love never did run smooth !"—The bard who wrote for all times and all seasons, certainly never contemplated that Creina Fagan should summon Patrick Ragan before Mr. Commissioner Dubois for 11s. 6d., money lent, and the principal and interest of a pair of shirts, making altogether 19s. Creina Fagan told her case thus It's to marry me, yer Honors' Wartchip, that he tonic' me, an' he played the very piper with me bone heart and ho won it--(Laughter)—and in regard of that same thing, didn't I make him a pair of shirts, and lent him I Is. 6d7, all hard money—all away from me hone pockit ? and thin, the baste as he is, wid me hone pair of shirts on his spal— peen back—(Laughter) —he goes straight round about me and marries annuther—(Laughter)--as ould and as bastely as Barney's pig, yer Honnor.—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—HOW long did he court yol k , Creina Fagan ? Plaintiff—[ever since ho tuck up *id O'Connell, your Wartchip. • COMMISSIONER—Indeed. What do you mean by " tuck up with O'Connell?" Plaintiff—Och, he attends all the big meetings—Ragan is the dear boy to hollabalue, and in regard of that he wakes all our dead.--(La . ughter.) COMMISSIONER—ReaIIy he looks a remarkably clever specimen of the " fine pisintry !" Now, Mr. Ragan, do you owe this woman the amount claimed 2 Defendant—Now, by my cowl and body, I don't. COMMISSIONER—Swear him. Here Ragan, in accordance witch the moral philosophy of Peter Dens, was about. to draw a long bill on his " mental reservation box," but he was cut short ay being ordered to take the oath of the Romau Catholic form, at which Patrick appeared considerably chagrined. COMMISSIONER—NOW, Sir, did Criena Fagan make you two shirts, and 'lend you money out of her pocket ? De fendant--By the Powers, I can't say but she did ; but she made me a prisint of it—(Laughter) —and its only an ould. spite, bekase I got married, that she brought me here. COMMISSIONER—It seems you've sadly cheated the poor woman, and you must pay her. What are you ?--Patrick —I goes straight where I'm tould, Sir.—(Laughter.) Speak plainly, Sir, how d'ye get your living ?—where do you go, and who sends you Divil a row is ther but its meeself that's in it, and o. gentleman, and a rale one, pays me, and he knows Tl;an. (Here Patrick gave a very knowing wink.) Amid considerable laughter Patrick, the patriot, was ordered to p , :.y the amount sued for. As soon as he corn prehendq, the latter fact, he clenched his fist, and looking very 'Much like a deceived bull-dog at Mr. Dubois, be eja cr:iated " Onley let me catch you at Cork !"

Thousands and tens of thou sands of frivolous and litigious objections wriuld have been prevented by the clause in that Bill which made persons liable to pay the costs of voters if their objections were groundless ; but this the Tories dislilze ; every thing that occasions expense and gives trouble is grateful to them, be cause, as they have had their hands in the public purse for about forty years, they calculate that in a game to be de aided by the application of money, the advantage will be on their side. The country will not, however, long endure a system fraught with so much trouble, that in the borough of Leeds alone we have 3,000 objections, of which 1,700 are made by the Tories, principally with the hope that the electors may not find it convenient to attend the Barrister? Court when their wales are called over, or that, if they do attend, the omissir, o of the cross of a t, or the dot of an i, in the overseers' 1 ;ook, may deprive them of their, franchise. This is one bt the wrongs that require a remedy and we un derstand that the Leeds Revising Barristers have shown a `;ery laudable disposition to alleviate it, though they have not the power which they certainly ought to possess, of mulcting the wholesale objector - in costs, to be paid for the loss of time vexatiously inflicted upon well-qualified voters. —Leeds Mercury.
